Goals:
You will work to create an electronic poster or infographic on ONE of the following topics. Generally, posters/infographics rely heavily on the use of pictures, figures, and succinct text to convey information in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-understand. You should create a poster that succinctly communicates information addressing all points of your chosen prompt. Submit your posters as a PDF to this assignment on TCU Online.
Software: You can use whatever makes you most comfortable, as long as the assignment is ultimately submitted as a PDF. You can use PowerPoint, Word, or an online infographic generator such as Piktochart, Canva.
References: You should use at least three quality references (.edu’s and .govs will be particularly helpful in this assignment). All information on your poster/infographic should be in your own words, not copied directly from your sources. On your poster/infographic, you should include an in-text citation indicating where specific information came from. Additionally, you should include a list of all references somewhere on your poster (I would recommend making it relatively inconspicuous somewhere near the bottom. If you would like to see an example, the example infographic on sleep does a nice job of doing this.
